German multinational tech conglomerate Siemens is unveiling two state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities for electrical products this week—including one in Fort Worth and another in Pomona, California.

The new Fort Worth facility is a $190 million electrical products manufacturing hub that’s responsible for creating “reliable and efficient” electrical equipment such as low-voltage switchboards necessary to meet the demand from the booming data center market. It will create 800 new jobs, Siemens said.

Ribbon-cutting in Fort Worth

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held today at the Fort Worth facility. Speakers included Siemens AG President and CEO Roland Busch; Regional CEO of Siemens Smart Infrastructure’s Electrical Products Barry Powell; and Adriana Cruz, executive director of economic development and tourism with the Texas Governor’s Office. The speakers addressed the impact of this $190 million investment on the North Texas economy and workforce, as well as the role the plant will play in meeting America’s demand for critical infrastructure technologies.

“The industrial tech sector is the basis to boost manufacturing in America and there’s no company more prepared than Siemens to make this future a reality for customers from small and medium sized enterprises to industrial giants,” Siemens CEO Busch said in a statement.

Recent Siemens investments in U.S. total over $10B

The U.S. is already the largest market for the company, relying on American talent and American supply chains. The recent investments in the company’s U.S. manufacturing footprint and the planned acquisition of Altair, a Michigan-based software company, amount to more than $10 billion.

The total $285 million investment in new manufacturing facilities is expected to create more than 900 skilled manufacturing jobs.

Siemens said the equipment produced at the factories will support critical sectors such as the commercial, industrial, and construction markets while powering AI data centers across the nation to support America’s leadership in the industrial AI revolution. Siemens is more than doubling its production capacity of electric equipment to power critical American infrastructure such as AI data centers, the company said.

Boosting AI-powered design and simulation

In October, Siemens agreed to acquire Altair, a combination that will create the world’s most complete AI-powered design and simulation portfolio.

The company said the combination will allow users in America and all around the globe to design and manufacture more complex and smarter products faster—by simulating in the digital world, first. For example, Siemens said they do a virtual crash-test for a new car design; or calculate in advance how a cell phone reacts to drops and thus develop the design optimally, before they build it in the real world.

“We believe in the innovation and strength of America’s industry,” Busch said. “That’s why Siemens has invested over $90 billion in the country in the last 20 years. This year’s investment will bring this number to over $100 billion. We’re bringing more jobs, more technology, and a boost to America’s AI capabilities.”

Siemens employs more than 45,000 people in the United States and partners with about 12,000 suppliers nationwide.
